Chapter 208 – 208. White Flower Arms (3)
====================
There was no strength whatsoever in her.
Is it really El Cid?
Watching the elf woman with her pale purple hair reminiscent of echidnas, Bari Theon wondered if she was really an oath of the elves.
‘However, this is strange. The color is strangely pale. As if you are not a living person. I can feel vitality and vitality, but there is no color. Is that possible?’
I felt like a spirit of nature, not a living creature.
An existence completely cut off from the world.
She is a Bari Theon who can’t stop when it comes to beauty, but she didn’t even feel any emotion towards El Cid, who possessed her divine beauty.
El Cid.
Colorless that can’t contain anything.
Bariteon was instinctively amazed at her existence, which felt neither strong nor weak.
‘What do I know that I’m just a mere insignificant thing? The opponent is an oath of the elves. I’m sure he’s thinking about something profound, such as contemplating the logic of the world.’
Bariteon shook her head and murmured at the sight of El, who couldn’t tell what she was thinking or what emotion she was feeling.
Meanwhile,
El was dissatisfied with the green-haired elf woman who made excessive physical contact with Gilead.
“I heard the news from the Demon King Slayer, Valois Kingdom! I heard that you also fought against the tyrannical devil this time! You’re amazing, you’re defending the kingdom against the evil vampires!”
Rostar held Yushin’s hands while sending her eyes full of respect and awe.
Isn’t that the perfect hero!
The sight of Yushin fighting greedy evil threatening world peace and order was enough to arouse Rosta’s admiration.
An elf woman with a childlike innocent sense of justice, she showed her respect for Yushin to such an extent that she forgot that she was making too much physical contact.
‘Because you’re like a wife who doesn’t know the case. I don’t know what you’re thinking about daring to flirt with Mr. Gilead, who has Ardena as his companion. How can I seduce you with an obscene and unscrupulous body in a place where so many people are gathered!’
Rosta Bouclière boasted a slim and strong body comparable to Ardena.
Her big breasts and narrow waist,
And a large, thickly developed hips and buttocks.
She had a body full of sensuality, as if representing healthy femininity and the perfect ideal of a man. Elle, who witnessed a woman with a mature body clinging to a man who owned her without hesitation, felt bad for a woman who did not even know her name.
“Get out of the way, Rosta Bouclier. It is now a stone statue welcoming Sir El Cid. Personal small talk later.”
Ardena intervened and pushed away Rosta, who was obsessed with Yushin.
He stared into her cold, downcast eyes.
Ardena was wary of a moving pornographic woman approaching Yushin.
She’s like a woman who can’t control her own sexual desire like a rabbit in heat. Rosta was approached purely out of admiration for Yushin, but Ardena, who was constantly suspicious of his cheating and her affair, considered Rosta’s approach to her as an act with suspicious intentions.
‘Good work, Ardena. As for your partner, you must defend yourself to the end.’
El supported Ardena’s actions from behind. It is as if she sees her mother cheering her daughter on. El expected Ardena to coolly dispel the unscrupulous woman who seduced her prospective son-in-law.
“Sir El Cid.”
Ilaina uttered her name.
El, who had been paying attention to other things for a while, watched her silver-haired director with her eyelids gently open.
“Yes, priest.”
“Let’s go inside first and talk about the details. There are many things I want to ask you.”
“So do i. How this country has changed during my absence… , I would like to know that.”
Subsequently, nobles belonging to the Council of Yetzirah began approaching El Cid.
She is the hero of the elves.
She was the object of all elves’ admiration, and she was the first and foremost symbol of greatness.
Although they were aristocrats united by arrogance and pride, they all bowed their heads to El and sincerely respected her. Even those who openly showed hostility towards the young priest and showed their ambitions had to bow their heads humbly in front of the name El Cid.
‘It must be very busy. I don’t want to hang out with worldly affairs as much as possible.’
El noticed that she saw familiar faces among the nobles.
Their descendants were evident.
When they crossed the continent to escape the persecution of humans, they were the leaders who led their people along with the first priest. The gathering of their descendants was the Council of Yetzirah.
I never thought I’d meet their descendants after a long time. She was an El who thought she would never be associated with the world again, so she put on an expression of mixed emotions.
* * *
When El Cid was receiving countless hospitality from the nobles of the Yetzirah Council,
Yushin was watching Ardena’s eyes.
“The weather is cold.”
Is it because of the weather?
Or is it because she is a high elf woman radiating cold like a blizzard?
“Perhaps it’s because they’ve been away for a long time due to injustice, stray cats keep on rampaging.”
Should I spray rat poison?
At Ardena’s eerie remark, Yushin shook her shoulders.
“I’m glad that everyone seems to be doing well. Because the aftermath that started in the kingdom of Valois did not directly reach Maherit. If the elves were caught up in the affairs of the humans, I would have been embarrassed.”
“Hmm…. I just hope that the kingdom of Valois will quickly regain stability.”
I’m thinking of passing it on to another topic.
Ardena, who clearly sees Yushin’s true intentions to the point where the word “Heart and soul” Fits, knew that he was trying to pass her affairs on Rosta off by bringing up the situation in the kingdom of Valois.
But she decided to be fooled.
It was in consideration of the hard work of Yushin, who must have fought to the death in the kingdom of Valois to prevent the worst outcome.
“Ring, I’m doing it.”
“Oh yeah…. Great, of course Because you gave it to me.”
She’s about to change the subject again.
I know I will go there again.
However, at the glance of her restoration, looking at the ring she had given her last time, which she had even put on her finger, Ardena’s frozen heart, like her cold ice cap, was so cold. I felt it dissolve easily.
The feeling of love is unequal.
This is because it is an emotion with a structure in which the side that loves more has no choice but to devote and sacrifice.
It must have been you who took a look first….
Why is it that with just one word from you, with a glance full of love, the feelings of hatred and jealousy are blown away by the warm wind?
“Thank you for continuing to wear the ring. I was worried about what would happen if I hated myself and threw it away. Because you are the only person I gave the ring to.”
“You are going to shake my heart with such sweet talk. You are cowardly, Yushin Gilead.”
“Oh, sorry if that sounded like that.”
“Kuk!”
When Yushin apologized, Ardena swallowed her saliva and glared at him in a mean way.
If you apologize right away,
I see myself as the only daughter who has fallen into jealousy and envy.
If you’re a prostitute who flirts with multiple women at the same time, be a little more blatant about me. Don’t treat me so kindly. Then I’ll be able to resent and hate you a little more.
‘Ugh!! Cowardly. That’s cowardly!’
Even though Ardena didn’t look in her mirror, she was sure her face was flushed red.
Her heart was beating like crazy.
It looked like it would break through her chest at any moment.
Even though they had only had a short conversation together, not only did all the feelings of hatred and jealousy melt away, but the heart that had been covered by the ice caps just before was burning red with intense feelings of love.
‘Don’t make such a nice face! Don’t say things that make people’s hearts pound! Don’t be nice to me! Don’t wink at me as if you’re always considerate of me, Yushin Gilead!’
I had to admit it.
I had no choice but to admit it.
I have given my heart to this person, to this man irrevocably.
The many experiences and times I had with him so far proved it. Her affection and bond with him were so solid and stubborn that jealousy and envy could not match them.
“It looks like Sir El Cid has gotten himself caught up in something very troublesome. Will it be okay?”
Yushin asked.
At that, Ardena nodded her head.
“No matter how many flattering words, Master’s firm heart will not change. You don’t have to worry.”
“As expected, Sir El Cid is a formidable person. I never thought those nobles would come in with their heads bowed. Aren’t Ileina’s people also stiff-haired?”
“It’s a bit rude, but… , Master’s reputation is unmatched by anyone in the world.”
As Yushin reacted in surprise, Ardena shrugged her shoulders and raised her own master.
I am very proud of Master.
Through Ardena’s reaction, Yushin knew how much she respected and loved her master.
“As expected, excellent disciples come out of excellent teachers. It is not so?”
“… It’s difficult if you put it too high.”
Ardena said that, but she smiled as if Yushin’s words were not bad to hear.
“He is a teacher I am extremely proud of.”
He received the undeserved honor of becoming a disciple of the benevolent Master and receiving his teachings.
As a sword to protect compatriots,
He was able to become a warrior who could devote and sacrifice everything for the country.
Ardena valued her master, El Cid, more than her own life.
For that person,
He is willing to sacrifice even his life.
Choosing death meant giving up love, but Ardena boasted that she would give up even her life for Master.
“Aren’t you being too serious?”
“… Yeah, it seems I was a bit emotional. Perhaps it was because I saw Master being welcomed by many people.”
Having said that, Ardena suddenly noticed that something hot was flowing down her cheek.
It fell down his cheek.
A drop of hot emotion started to fall from his eyes.
Ardena, realizing that she had inadvertently shed a tear, raised her hand hastily as Ardena looked horrified. And who shall see, hastily wiped the tears from her eyes with the sleeves of her clothes.
“Sorry, did I touch the sad parts?”
Yushin took her handkerchief out of her pocket and held it out to her.
Ardena was handed her handkerchief.
And she shook her head as she wiped her eyes with the handkerchief.
“No, all of a sudden, I didn’t know…. She ended up with an ugly look. Sorry.”
“It’s okay, you can. Sometimes, there are times when you shed tears inadvertently.”
“It’s not like me. To show tears in a place where many people gather. I’ve never seen anything like this before….”
Ardena, who continued her words, must have felt an unknown deja vu. She frowned and blurted out her words.
As if you’ve experienced
She felt like she had been through a similar situation before.
But she didn’t remember.
No matter how much I tried to remember her, she couldn’t come to mind.
It was strange. Master. And sacrifice. Just thinking of those two words at the same time made her heart ache.
